Another empty run round the local countryside. Very empty, apart from a couple of deer sightings (1 x 2 deer, 1 x 4 deer), 2 hares, 2 buzzards. Couple of 'hot spots' on the way back where we saw a few other people (where the path crossed the road), but otherwsie just us, the wind & the sun.





I also got, without relising it, a 4GB, 20 minute video of the ground as I was running along. Now deleted.

I do have a little bit of coast envy though !

Carp - 2 metres or 2 miles?

Youngest Son sent me a virtual breakfast-in-bed this morning, all done with emojis.

Out on my bike today for the first time since September. Glorious day out but wind as cold and in my face for most of it. Thenn had to leave the house as Mr PL and J were cooking me lunch and I tend to interfere if left in house. Went to deliver cat food to a friend - she had given me some that her cat couldn't eat. I gave her some of Pepper's to see if he could cope with that. Have then sat in sun and read a book!

Beautiful day here and I didn't find it too cold on my run this morning. I think the supermarket staff are unsung heroes of this crisis Yumee. Son1's MiL to be works in a big Morrisons. She's a strong woman but she's been really shaken by the behaviour of some shoppers :-(

Anyway, done some gardening :-) and now going to make the first rhubarb tart of the year :-)

I did the NHS thing too. I didn’t realise that about the flowers. I saw people getting them but I didn’t know they were free.

That was a nice gesture from Tesco, wondered why you wouldn't be allowed to pay till 10am bit that's your retail laws down south I guess, here it's not a problem (except for buying alcohol) which I didn't need

Yeah - I went to the store in our nearest town, which is actually over the border in England (independence makes little sense in these parts 🤣)

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
